Product release strategy

One strategy for quickly penetrating a market, is to produce the core, or stripped down, basic product, adding features to variants of the product to be released shortly thereafter. This release strategy is obviously also beneficial in information systems development, staging core functionality for early releases and adding features over the course of several subsequent releases.

As the world is moving towards service delivery concept, it is possible for the service provider to add features while the users are actually using the service without any interruptions. This is really a cool feature. Read 'Getting Real' from www.37signals.com.
